DGCA suspends Indmar's licence, orders probe on alleged irregularity

Mumbai: The director general of civil aviation (DGCA) has suspended the licence of Indmar, one of the oldest maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) firms in the country. The regulator has ordered a detailed investigation to probe charges of alleged irregularity in aircraft maintenance slapped on the firm by one of its major corporate client - Forum I.
The order on the suspension of licence was passed on May 9 for an initial period of 15 days. The decision of the director general of civil aviation, EK Bharat Bhushan, comes at a time when concerns in the aviation industry on safety concerns and findings in audit reports of the DGCA are gaining credence. Almost all commercial airlines in the country are found wanting on defined safety parameters.
